Makeup Monday: 2 Easy Summer Makeup Ideas With Dior Eye Reviver

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my makeup since starting our YouTube channel 2 months ago. So today I’m sharing two summer makeup looks that I wore for our upcoming YouTube tutorials. You might have already seen a sneak peek on my Snapchat (username: SoNailicious)

The great thing about these looks is that they are achievable and suitable for real life situations. I love experimenting with makeup, like this and this, but I generally prefer to keep my makeup down to earth and quick. ‘Maximum impact with minimum effort’, that’s my main makeup motto which conveniently leaves more time left to do nails!

I used the new Dior Eye Revivereye shadow palette in #002 from the new Dior Milky Dots collections for both of these looks. Yep, these polishes are from the same collection. I’m a big fan of palettes, they make makeup application so much easier. A great bonus, Eye Reviver has great quality makeup brushes included and an eyeliner too. If you don’t have Eye Reviver, any other nude palette,this or this for example, will be fine.

Now, let’s have a look at what’s involved with this easy how-to.

Look 1. Daytime.

Suitable for a date, lunch, brunch or whenever you feel like wearing more on your face than just a lip balm.

Look 2. Statement / Evening.

Suitable for a night time or even day time if you’re a red lipstick girl.

HOW-TO:

Apply primer.

Apply medium coverage foundation on your face and neck focusing on areas that require more coverage.

With a large makeup brush, apply loose powder to set the foundation-concealer mix.

Using a large fluffy makeup brush (like this), apply a little bit of loose powder all over your face to set the foundation-concealer mix.

Use an angled soft flat brush (like this) to apply highlighter to cheekbones, the tip of your nose and around lips. It’s a trick I’ve shown a few times on Snapchat.

Apply some bronzer to cheeks.

Eyes? Easy! Just create a gradient on your eye lids from as many colors as you want to use in the palette. Using eye a small fluffy brush, apply the lighter shades under eye brows and darker shades on your eyelids. Finish by applying a brown eyeliner along your lash-line.

Use an angled eye brow pencil* to add some definition to your eyebrows.
